You have to remember that Lincoln and the free the slaves movement did not believe the races were equal. No nation in the world did. It was a new concept in the world when the Brits and U.S. banned slavery.

Many believed the races would never mix and live together. The Liberia solution was to send freed U.S. Blacks back to Africa so they could run their own country.

I give them credit for trying to change society in a positive manner. The easy thing would have been to just let Blacks continue in slavery.

Lincoln did not want them to remain in the USA. He was met with enormous opposition from other abolitionists and so he recanted. This surprised me because I had no idea that he thought like this.

A you mentioned indentured servants, I sometimes think that set up is similar to what happens to some English teachers here. Especially in the novella posted the other day.

They pay a broker, the broker sells them out to an institution that is supposed to pay them, house them and feed them.
The pay is then docked for sky high electricity, or they have to pay for their own visas. Some try to live on an advance from the school or broker until their first salary, then find theat after paying back the advance and deductions the salary isn't enough to live on and have to ask for an advance again... Shady ESL businesses...modern day indentured servitude in China.

from what I have read it seems to be a common thing here . It would change if the teachers had some money to back themselves and just quit.

The U.S. embassy used to give you a ticket home if you sign a promissory note. I dont know about now.

shady business . I think so.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act

Lincoln was hardly alone. A number of Abolitionists had the same notion, among them Harriet Beecher Stowe of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" fame. The logistics were, of course, unworkable. Too many ships at too great a cost for an idea that would not turn a profit. (Back then deficits incurred for social engineering and experimentation were not business as usual.) From time to time, alternative media sources come out expressing shock and outrage at Lincoln on this score. About as sincere as griping about bear shit in the woods. Given the continuing state of sorry race relations in the States, allow Lincoln credit for trying to address a huge problem. Personally, I think miscegenation is the only way to go (despite the warnings of the eugenics crowd.)

Don't believe the hype about Blacks ad welfare my friends. We all know that men lie, women lie, but numbers don't lie. The Black welfare queen is a huge Fallacy and a American colloquialism, propagated by news media and Hollywood.

The truth is, of the 46 million people living in poverty in America in 2010, the U.S. census revealed that 31 million were white. Ten million were black. Of the 49 million people without health insurance coverage, 37 million were white; 8 million were African American. The face of poverty in America is overwhelmingly white. Face it, White Americans, poor and middle-class alike, receive the vast majority of tax-funded government assistance programs, from monthly assistance to Social Security to food stamps.

Look a little harder. Ya, I've also read that there are more
whites on welfare, but the percentage of blacks on welfare is 57.

black people collect 33% of public aid dollars while they make up only 12% of the American population.
